She'll go nowhere until I say so," Aquasteine thunders at them, his hard gaze fixed on the guards. "Go tell Ramses that our mate goes nowhere until we all agree to her punishment."
The guards leave immediately, their stances stiff as they walk. I exhale in relief, Aquasteine observes me sitting on the bed. "Don't be relieved, don't get me wrong princess, you're getting punished."
I freeze, why couldn't I stay away from trouble for once, that reminded me of the thief in the obsidian vault, I couldn't leave, I didn't even know where the obsidian vault was, I guess no extra lives for me, I would just have to keep mating to get those lives in snatches.
"How dare you defy my orders to have our mate punished," Ramses yells, his nose flaring, face flushed in anger. "I'm really sorry," I say before I can stop it, why was I even saying that.
